Caldecott Honor

Humbled.

Blessed.

Swoony.

Weak-kneed.

Grateful.

More later, but that pretty much covers it for now…
Namaste…

    I have had a warm happy feeling for you for the last two days. And for Marla, of course. And tell her that I said she’s going to have a hard time topping the wonderfulness of her shoes from the LAST Newbery/Caldecott Banquet. I’m going to want pictures to see what she comes up with. 🙂

    Congrat’s on a much deserved honor!

    Hi, Liz!

    What a gorgeous book you have in ALL THE WORLD–the words and the stunning art! I have it face out on my shelf because I love the cover so much! I knew the moment Erin showed us the F&Gs in Portland that it would make a huge splash! Enjoy the ride!

    Cheers!

    A HUGE, HUGE belated congratulations to you! I haven’t seen the book yet but I am so looking forward to reading your book and looking at Marla’s illustrations. A librarian I know described your book as a “perfect marriage between author and illustrator.” 🙂

    Congratulations!

    A week ago at this time, I was poring over your book and all the other Caldecott contenders. I am so happy for you and hope to congratulate you and Marla in person in DC in June.
